Interesting:
Nikola Tesla's last message to his mother:
"All these years that I had spent in the service of mankind brought me nothing but insults and humiliation."
Elon Musk explains why being useful is the only career advice that matters
"I generally think to try to be as useful as possible. It may sound trite, but it's so hard to be useful, especially to a lot of people"
"The area under the curve of total utility is how useful have you been to your fellow human beings, times how many people. It's almost like the physics definition of true work. If you aspire to do true work, your probability of success is much higher"
"Don't aspire to glory, aspire to work"
I read over 1,000 pages on John D. Rockefeller.

If you could only watch one video for how to conquer an industry, I would recommend this one.
Burma Campaign UK has today added 53 companies to its ‘Dirty List’, which names and shames international companies linked to the Burmese military or human rights violations and environmental destruction in Burma.

Massive win for crypto.
🇺🇸 US Congress just passed the CBDC bill, banning the Fed from issuing a digital dollar until 2030. President Trump is expected to sign it next.
Bullish for the growth of stablecoins like USDT and USDC, which can now thrive without direct competition from the Fed.
Fine-tune DeepSeek-OCR on your own language!
(100% local)
DeepSeek-OCR is a 3B-parameter vision model that achieves 97% precision while using 10× fewer vision tokens than text-based LLMs.
It handles tables, papers, and handwriting without killing your GPU or budget.
Why it matters:
Most vision models treat documents as massive sequences of tokens, making long-context processing expensive and slow.
DeepSeek-OCR uses context optical compression to convert 2D layouts into vision tokens, enabling efficient processing of complex documents.
The best part?
You can easily fine-tune it for your specific use case on a single GPU.
I used Unsloth to run this experiment on Persian text and saw an 88.26% improvement in character error rate.
↳ Base model: 149% character error rate (CER)
↳ Fine-tuned model: 60% CER (57% more accurate)
↳ Training time: 60 steps on a single GPU
Persian was just the test case. You can swap in your own dataset for any language, document type, or specific domain you're working with.
I've shared the complete guide in the next tweet - all the code, notebooks, and environment setup ready to run with a single click.
